Oh, I have a recent one! Someone at work (who I barely know) approached me about making a quilt for a raffle, to benefit charity. I was thinking OK sure I can put together a quick baby quilt or something for a good cause, but when I said that she said, "Oh, no, it has to be a queen size, at LEAST." I asked how much she was selling tickets for and how much she expected to raise, she was selling the tickets for $1 each and hoped to raise $100-$200. I explained that a queen size quilt would likely cost me at least $300 in materials to make, not to mention all my time. She literally stuck her nose in the air (who DOES that??) and said, "Well, I'm sure you're just shopping in all the wrong places. I will find someone else who knows how to make one much cheaper." I laughed and told her "OK sounds great - good luck with that." which she didn't like much at all, I think she expected me to make it anyway. When it came time for the raffle I checked it out...no quilts but there WERE a pair of handmade potholders in the grouping, LOL. Guess she didn't have a lot of luck!
